Chapter Five: She Was a Substitute
At that time, she really felt that Jiang Zhi was sent by God to save her.
In the dirty devil's cave, with scars all over her body, she carefully placed her hand in his palm, and then said softly: "Then will you protect me?"
What did Jiang Zhi say?
The man looked at her solemnly, and his words were softer than the clouds: "Yes, I will never let others hurt you."
Yu Zhao closed her eyes. The past scenes and the scenes in front of her kept repeating themselves. The sour feeling spread from her stomach to her throat. The words she said were all bitter: "Okay."
She really wanted to see how her good master treated the legendary junior sister who was so favored. She really wanted to see if her good master would be so cool when he knew her identity.
, don't care.
Yu Zhao gritted her teeth tightly, and the smell of blood spread in her mouth. She then raised her head and looked at Jiang Zhi, her eyes were red from the sour feeling, but she said with a smile: "I am willing to worship."
Entering Qingjue Mountain."
Jiang Zhi nodded expressionlessly, handed her the token of his direct disciple, and left with just one sentence: "The third peak on the left is Qingjue Mountain. Come directly after we finish."
Yu Zhao clenched his fists, and a vague shadow in the distance flew into Jiang Zhi's arms like a baby swallow. Yu Zhao saw Jiang Zhi gently rubbing her head, and then the two of them sat down together.
Yu Zhao thought that what the man said must be a complaint about why he had accepted an extra apprentice.
And Jiang Zhi must be coaxing her gently.
Because Yu Zhao was like this in the past.
A stabbing pain spread across his heart, and Yu Zhao was speechless. He covered his head with the bamboo hat again, and then stood among the crowd.
Covered by the bamboo hat, her tears fell freely. She suddenly remembered that every time she was sad enough to shed tears, Jiang Zhi would give her a pearl.
Jiang Zhi said that there are rumors among the people that the tears shed by a mermaid that everyone yearns for will condense into pearls. He said that Zhao Zhao is the mermaid that he cherishes in his heart.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhao felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a piece of gall alive.
She wiped away her tears in a panic and couldn't help but look towards Jiang Zhi. She couldn't see clearly what the two people were doing, and couldn't hear the flattering remarks of the people around her.
The two wealthy young men she met at the foot of the mountain followed closely and whispered something in her ears. Yu Zhao felt a little bored, so she turned and left.
He walked with his back to Jiang Zhi.
She didn't know if she didn't want to listen to those people anymore, or if she didn't want to see Jiang Zhi treat others so gently.
After all the disciples were screened, Yu Zhao walked to Qingjue Mountain on his own.
She actually didn't know how long it had been since she came back, and the place she was so familiar with before now felt strange.
Yu Zhao took a deep breath and walked up. Qingjue Mountain's handyman disciples led her to her residence and gave her directions along the way.
"This is senior sister's residence. Don't come here often on weekdays. Senior sister Xi Jing."
Senior sister?
Yu Zhao raised her head and took a look. This house was similar to the one she lived in before in Qingjue Mountain, or even worse. The floor was paved with warm jade, and it was luxurious and tight.
She nodded and said nothing more.
Yu Zhao passed by her former residence, which had been covered with nets and looked extremely desolate. She couldn't help but ask: "Where is this place?"
"Sister, don't go here casually. This is the place where uncle's former criminals lived. The outside is sealed by a formation. A disciple accidentally triggered it before, and now the cold poison in the body has not been completely dispelled.
"
Yu Zhao pursed his lips and said nothing.
She has to come here sooner or later. There is also her natal spiritual sword here.
The disciples walked all the way and introduced each other, and finally arrived at Yu Zhao's residence. It was not remote and the house was of average quality.
It is worth mentioning that there is a flower bush here, which Yu Zhao and Jiang Zhi planted one by one a long time ago.
Yu Zhao closed his eyes, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.
The disciple helped her pack her things and then explained: "The apprenticeship ceremony will be in three days. Senior sister must remember to dress up in a grand manner."
Yu Zhao nodded in agreement, and the disciple explained something more before leaving.
After all, after entering Qingjue Mountain, the reason why Master killed him will be investigated sooner or later.
This period of traveling really made Yu Zhao feel a little tired. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Yu Zhao had a dream. In the dream, she was catching butterflies among the flowers at the foot of the mountain. Jiang Zhi was watching and laughing with her. Occasionally, when she was getting frustrated because she couldn't catch the butterfly, she stretched out her hand to pinch one.
After seeing her smile happily, she would think of ways to conjure food in the world, which would make her very happy every time.
The aftereffects of this dream were so great that when Yu Zhao opened his eyes, his eyes turned red subconsciously.
Before she could carefully recall the dream that had not appeared for a long time, there was a burst of noise outside, and the sweet smile of a girl could be heard very clearly. For some reason, Yu Zhao subconsciously felt that this person was Jiang Zhi.
New disciple.
She walked out slowly, and sure enough, she saw a girl in a bright yellow dress among the flowers. She held a mortal butterfly net in her hand and chased the flying butterflies unscrupulously.
There was a figure in white and brocade robes standing next to her. Yu Zhao subconsciously looked over and saw Jiang Zhi's familiar features.
At this moment, all the rational strings in her mind were completely broken. She went crazy and felt that it was unfair. Why? Why?
Why can a disciple whom you have taken on for a short time be held in the palm of your hand? Enjoying all the good things you have done to me?
Why are they all your apprentices? She, Yu Zhao, is going to be pierced through the heart by your sword, but this one can dance freely among the flowers?
Why?
Jiang Zhi, why?
Yu Zhao bit the tip of her tongue hard, until she tasted the fishy sweetness in her mouth, she took a deep breath and managed to calm down.
But in the next second, all the calmness disappeared in an instant.
Because the bright girl turned around, revealing a face that was 80% similar to Yu Zhao before his death!
At that moment, all the pain was surging in his mind, clamoring to question Jiang Zhi, but Yu Zhao pushed him back again and again.
She pinched the soft flesh on her arm hard to keep herself awake in the pain.
Her good master gave everything that Yu Zhao had to someone else. This someone else also had a face that was very similar to Yu Zhao!
So who is she, Yu Zhao? Is she a substitute for Master in his boring moments?
